Before Jessie Belle Holt, there was Anabeth Grainger Holt--her mother. In the 4th installment of the Jezebel series, Anabeth had dreams of marrying her one true love but gave them up to marry the young pastor chosen by her parents. When she gives birth to Jessie Belle, the little girl becomes her world, but status and respect means everything to Anabeth. When her daughter threatens to destroy the perfectly painted family picture that Anabeth has created, she is forced to make some choices and keep secrets that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
